ASSESSORS: Authorizes limited increases in annual compensation for assessors in each parish (EN +$847,031 LF EX See Note)

The list of bill sponsors was changed from a group of representatives and senators to a single representative named Brass.

The layout of the compensation table was adjusted to align the population categories with their corresponding dollar amounts more clearly.

The description of legislative intent was updated to explicitly mention an 'effective date' and clarify that the bill provides for 'related matters'.

The notice requirement for compensation increases was clarified to specify that the last notice must be published at least 30 days prior to the increase.

A specific effective date of July 1, 2026, was added, along with provisions for the timeline if the bill is vetoed and subsequently approved.

A new paragraph was added stating that any assessor who violates the property exemption in R.S. 47:6001 for a taxable year ending after December 31, 2025, is ineligible for the compensation increases authorized by the bill.

The document header was updated from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' and the list of co-sponsors was expanded to include all representatives and senators who sponsored the bill.

The preliminary 'Engrossed' header and the coding instructions explaining how to read the document were removed as the bill was finalized.
